Armobreak was also used as adjuvant chemical in the experiments. KNO3 (4 %) and thiourea (2 %) chemicals were applied to Tokaloglu and Karacabey apricot cultivars in 1996. KNO3 (4%)+thiourea (2%) application, gave the highest results with 84.52 % of flower bud burst and 81.32 % of fruit set. Dormex application gave the worst results with 49.53 % of flower bud burst and 54.65 % of fruit set.
